The Board considers an application “filed” when it is received in the Board’s offices. However, if you mail your application, then if your envelope bears a postmark on or before the deadline and has sufficient postage, AND your Application is signed and notarized and is otherwise complete, then it will be considered filed as of the date the postmark shows it was mailed.

For your application to be considered filed, it must be accompanied by the Authorization and Release forms and all applicable fees in collected funds. See Rule.201(3)

After your application has been received and is being processed, you will be notified if there is any supporting documentation missing or if your answers to any questions are incomplete. The additional information should be furnished to the Board immediately as the Board will take no action on incomplete applications. Your application will not be considered “filed” until it is complete. If you do not respond promptly to questions, you may not be permitted to take the bar exam, or your results may be sealed.
